Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby founded their East London studio in 1996. For more than two decades their work has challenged the boundaries of design, while their commitment to lecturing, workshops and studio practice supports the development of new generations of designers. Barber Osgerby’s approach emphasises experimentation and innovation, with an exploratory attitude to materiality and colour. From these areas of focus emerge solutions that reflect the close relationship of their work with industrial processes and new technologies, but also its affinities with fine art.
